. THE WEAKEST SPOT
in your whole system, perhaps, is
the liver. If that doesn't do its
work of purifying the blood, more
troubles come from it than you can
remember.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery acts upon this weak spot as
nothing else can. It rouses it up
to healthy, natural action.. By
thoroughly purifying the blood, it
reaches, builds up, and invigorates
every part of the system.
For all diseases that depend on
the liver or the blood Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness ; every form
of Scrofula, even Consumption (or
Lung-scrofula) in its earlier stages;
and the most stubborn Skin and
Scalp Diseases, the " Discovery
is the only remedy so unfailing
and ettective that it can be guar
anteed. If it doesn't benefit or cure, you
have your money back.
On these terms, it's an insult to
your intelligence to have something
else offered as " just as good."

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-'

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

A HOLE THROUGH THE EARTH.
Where Would a Ball Dropped Into It
Come to Stop? , -
"W. M. J.," residing1 at Richmond,
Mo., sends the following peculiar query
to the editor of the St. Louis Republic,
and asks for an answer to it:
"If it were possible to drill a hole of
a foot or more in diameter entirely
through the earth and then to start a
ball weighing one hundred pounds or
more to falling through the same at
what point would it stop?"
Answer: Weight, in the sense that
"W. J. M." refers to it, is the measure
of attraction of gravitation; or, in
other words, it is the measure of force
with which a body "is attracted by the
earth. This attractive force decreases
both ways from the surface of the
earth, both outward into space or
downward toward the globe's supposed
molten center. In partial explanation
of ..this assertion I will say that any
given size bulk of iron, or any other
mineral or material whatever, will
weigh less on the top of a high moun
tain than it will at Sea level. In order
to be exact in this matter I will say
that a mass of one thousand pounds
weight will lose exactly two pounds
between tidewater and the top of a
mountain four miles high. This, it is
plain to be seen, is because the force
of the earth's attraction is much less
onthe mountain top than it is at the
sea level.
Therefore, if a ball be started on the
journey outlined in the query sent in
by our Richmond friend, its weight
would decrease to a certain extent with
every yard of its flight (or fall), until,
finally, upon reaching the center of the
earth, it would have no appreciable
weight, the attraction at that point
acting equally in every direction. This
being true, it is plain that the phe
nomenon of what we know as "weight"
would be entirely wanting, and the
ball would be held, in suspension as
though immovably transfixed by num
erous magnetic or invisible points.
MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN.
Usually the Only Thing That Will Make a
Man Save Money.
This is a true story, and one that
will apply to many Other young men
besides this particular one. It is a
great pity that this is true, says the
Pittsburgh Commerical Gazette, but so
it is.
A prosperous business man who em
ploys quite a number of clerks said re
cently that he had been led to the con
clusion that the young- man who saved
and invested his earnings is an ex
ception to the rule. He was surprised
to find this to be true. The facts came
out when he began reducing his work
ing force as business fell off. The
first to be dropped were those who had
no family depending upon them. Then
it was that they would confess they
hadn't saved a dollar, and had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, notwithstanding their
salaries were no larger, and in some
cases less, than thosej drawn by single
men.
By quizzing these young bachelors
he found that riotous living was the
principal cause of their poverty.
Some of them gambled on the quiet,
and others just naturally let it g-o
right and left as long as there was any
to go.
From this he concluded that mar
riage is a very good thing for a young
man, provided he marries a sensible,
practical sort of a woman. , Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in so doing, he will
be helping those who are willing to
help themselves.
BUILDING A HOUSE IN BERMUDA
The Walls and the It oof Made Out of
White Coral Rock.
Any man who chooses, says an article
on Bermuda in the Review of Reviews,
may scrape the thin coating of earth
off from his proposed building site and
proceed to lay up the walls of his
habitation with the blocks sawed out
in the process of excavating his cellar.
Thus when the cellar is dug the house
may be ready for roofing, and if
enough roofing material has not al
ready been accumulated in the course
of the excavation, it can easily be had
by digging the cellar a trifle-deeper,
for the roofs in Bermuda are invariably
made out of thin slabs of this same
white coral rock. It has. the advan
tage of being so soft that one may cut it
with an ordinary handsaw ten hours a
day for six months or a year- without
refiling the saw. It may be sawed into
slabs two or three inches thick and
eighteen inches or two feet square
without particular danger of breaking
the slabs. It looks somewhat like a
very soft, chalky variety of marble.
Though so workable when . first
quarried it hardens upon exposure.
Moisture permeates it easily, however,
and it is desirable that a building
should be covered with a thin coating
of Portland cement or a mixture of
common plaster with cement. This
coating is then treated with a heavy
whitewash made of lime burned from
the same ever-ready -coral rock. The
roofs and chimneys, as well as the
walls, are kept constantly whitewashed
and are absolutely as white as the
driven snow.
Coals of Fire.
:. Roger, the celebrated French tenor,
on one occasion was engaged for the
sum of fifteen hundred francs to sing
at the house of a rich financier. Roger
Sang his first, song magnificently, but
no one paid him the slightest atten
tion and the guests talked their loud
est. Presently the host thought the
time had come for another song, and
sent for Roger. He could not be found,
and that evening was seen no more.
Next day a note came from him, ac
companied by the sum of two thousand
francs. The note ran thus. "I have the
honor to return the fifteen hundred
francs which I received for singing at
your party, and I beg leave to add five
hundred francs more for having so
greatly disturbed the conversation of
your guests."
NO CLOCKS THERE.
Gambling Houses Have No Vbo for Time
Indicators.
There are no clocks in gambling
houses, and there never will be, except
those of the clock game variety.
There's reason for this and a good one,
too, in the opinion of the gentlemen
with hurdle-course shirt fronts who
personify the tiger, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"What's the Jtime?" asked one of
them the other morning early . morn
ing as he pulled a diamond studded
watch from his pocket and answered
the question. '
"Why don't we have a clock lianging
up?" he continued. "Cause they cost
money. I don't mean it takes more
than the result of one deal to pay for
one of 'em in the first place, but they're
expensive in the end. You see it's this
way: If we had a ticker on the wall
and a fellow had promised to be home
on the last car, and happened to look
up and 6ce that he had seven minutes
to catch that car, why, it's nearly an
even thing that he'd - quit us and go
home. That sort of business would
soon burst us up. If he doesn't know
what the time is he misses his car, then
he doesn't give a rap what time he
goes; he generally waits for the cable
to start again. That's where our "'soft
money' comes in;, men get reckless as
the morning dawns.
"No, sir; no clocks on my wall. I'm
not going' to fix things so that a man
will have to lie to his wife when he
tells her he didn't know what the time
was. I don't like a liar nohow."
And Mr. Surething' pulled his watch
out of his pocket and told a man who
had just arisen from a poker table that
"It is just 2:56, sir." The man mut
tered: "Missed it," and bought another
stack.
It was 3:15 a. m.
BEAUTIFUL AT EIGHTY.
Decollete Ball Gowns That Were Becom
ing at That Age.
Some years ago there was a famous
old beauty in one of the southern cap
itals who not only wore decollete dress
es at eighty, but actually possessed the
lovely neck and . arms which they re-:
quire, says the Philadelphia. Times.
She was most innocently vain. And no
wonder, for she was immensely flat
tered, and her townspeople valued her
charms far above those of her young-er
and more beautiful rivals. She had a
curious way of preparing- for a ball,
which our modern fashionable women,
with their multitudinous engagements,
would find difficult to emulate.
The morning before she proposed ap
pearing in her full regalia she would
take a brisk walk and return m time for
a midday dinner, after which she would
remain quiet with . her work until
about three or four o'clock, when
she would retire to her bed, take a very
hot potion to induce perspiration and
remain in bed, partaking of some light
refreshment at the tea hour, until it
was time to dress for her ball, Then
she would get up, take a bath and
make the most elaborate toilet. All
the household regarded these prepara
tions in the licrht of solemn rites, and
would never have dreamed of laughing
at them or interfering with them in
any way. Her appearance was a tri
umph, never failing to excite the great
est admiration and adulation.
SUBDUED BY LIGHTNING.
A Thunderstorm Bringra a Ferocious Bull
Into Subjection.
"Fear will often subdue the most
vicious and ferocious animal, and "if
treated kindly while under such excite
ment they are apt to show their appre
ciation ever afterward." remarked a
resident of Farming-ton, Conn., recent
ly. "I once owned a bull who -seemed
to have a particular antipathy toward
everyone that approached him. I had
to keep him constantly chained m a
shed with a ring- in his nose. Every
time anyone would approach him he
would act in a most violent manner,
pawing the ground, shaking his chain
and bellowing furiously. One day
there occurred a terrible thunder
storm. It hailed violently anil the
thunder and lightning were incessant.
The bull, who was somewhat exposed
in the open shed, could be heard bel
lowing with terror. On going out to
see what I could , do to quiet him I
found the poor brute trembling with
fright, and he did not seem to be at all
irritated at my approach as heretofore.
The gristle of his nose had nearly been
torn through by his struggles to get
free. . When I approached him he be
came quiet, and actually allowed me to
untie him and lead him into the barn
without making the least hostile dem
onstration. From that day his ferocity
entirely disappeared and - he remained
as docile as a lamb."
ONLY LET HER LOOK WELL.
And the Average Woman Will Face Death
with Reasonable Calmness.
A young lady of Owensboro, Ky.,
while recently, visiting in another
state, narrowly " missed a horrible
death. She was walking upon a long
and high railroad trestle with a male
friend and they were overtaken about
the middle of it by a lightning express
train. They had sufficient presence of
mind to step out upon the end of the
ties, and, crouching down, clung to a
water barrel fastened on the side of
the ; trestle. The flying train caused
such a vibration of the trestle and the
young woman was so frightened she
all but lost her grip upon the barrel,
which would have meant a horrible
death upon the rocks below. After
ward she said she did not think in this
moment of . great peril of her father,
mother or. sweetheart, or - the little
sins of her past life, but only of the
fact that the greasy barrel and cross
ties were ruining her new spring
gown. This reminds the Owensboro
Messenger of the experience Of a
girl at Ru&ellville, who, when run
down in a carriage with a gentleman
at a crossing by a train, suddenly
found herself suspended in midair on
the pilot of the engine, supported by
one arm of the gentleman about her
waist, while he clung on to the pilot
with the other. She said she only re
membered that she had gone out to
drive with her shabby shoes on, and
wondered if anybody was seeinar them.

A German Joke. . . '
The following fraud upon an Insur
ance company, which we find in the
Deutsche Tabak-Zeitung, is certainly
just a little too good to be true: "A
cunning- fellow, who wanted to smoke
the best cigars at the cheapest possible
cost, bought one thousand cigars of
.the highest quality and corresponding
price, and immediately insured the
whole stock. When he had smoked
the last of them, he demanded " seven
hundred and fifty marks from the in
surance company on the ground that
the whole of his insured stock, ten
boxes of cigars, had been consumed by
fire! The Solomonic court decided in
favor of the plaintiff. The company
then brought an action of conspiracy
against the smoker, accusing- him of
having intentionally put lire . to his
own cigars and deliberately destroyed
his property. Hereupon the same wise
court condemned the insured smoker
to three months' imprisonment. "
